It was actually difficult to NOT record my calories. I am ever mindful of how I am eating so this little experiment is to see if I can really sustain the fitness train without thinking too hard about it. I want to know how ingrained it has become. I will resume logging calories if I put on weight. I figure as long as I lose or stay within a pound or two of where I am I will be fine. I also think I might be adding more muscle so i will be watching my body as well as the scale to make my determination of success, after all, I would gladly accept an additional lb or two on the scale if I managed to lose inches. The ultimate goal is not so much a number on the scale as a certain look in the mirror. When I look the way I want to look I will make a note of my weight and maintain + or - 2 lbs. I still have a ways to go for the mirror to tell me to stop (I seem to have this stubborn belly fat that is taking its time to leave me) but I am in it for the long haul and know that as long as I am eating healthy and exercise regularly that I will win the battle of the bulge eventually. I feel great and am loving life! I don't need to be a super model, I'll be perfectly happy being a fit middle aged woman.
